ICYMI, this @phillyinquirer editorial perfectly highlights the need for more balance in our justice system. Funding public defenders is not only a constitutional responsibility, but it can save #Philly millions of dollars in settlements arising from police misconduct. ⚖️✨

#Phillydefenders are on the frontlines of the #justicesystem. We represent 70% of the people arrested for crimes in Philly. We understand the factors that have lead our clients to this point in their lives. We can’t keep funding law enforcement at the expense of other key justice system players. It’s about justice, fairness, and safety for everyone.

Our hearts are heavy as we mourn the loss of Amanda Cahill, who tragically passed away in custody following the latest Kensington sweep. 🙏🏽

Her death underscores the City’s failure to treat addiction as a public health issue. Philly’s jails are no place for people suffering from serious addiction.

We must prioritize solutions that treat addiction as a medical condition, not a crime. It’s time for real change that protects our most vulnerable. Let’s come together to prevent tragedies like this from happening again.

This @phillyinquirer piece perfectly highlights the need for more balance in our justice system. Funding public defenders is not only a constitutional responsibility, but it can save #Philly millions in settlements arising from police misconduct.

Police misconduct lawsuits have cost Philly taxpayers $60 million over the past 18 months

The sharp uptick has been primarily driven by several wrongful conviction lawsuits that were resolved around the same time.
